A father in Saudi Arabia was ran over by a vehicle in an effort to save his own son on Saturday, December 1.
In a surveillance footage posted by Net Ad, the man is seen crossing a street in the Asir district in Saudi while holding the hand of his son.
However, the child lost a grip of his father’s hands and ran to cross the road. Unfortunately, an oncoming vehicle was on its way to his son’s direction. Upon catching sight of the vehicle, the man ran in an attempt to save his son. However, both of them were hit, with the father being dragged a few meters before the vehicle came to a full stop.
The father is still in critical condition while his son is now recovering from his injuries.
On social media, the father has been hailed as “Father, model of sacrifice and love”.
